# Finding Quality Artwork

## Sources for finding artwork

1. Check [Ben Dodson's itunes Artwork Finder](https://bendodson.com/projects/itunes-artwork-finder).

2. Check [MusicBrainz](https://musicbrainz.org).

3. Check [VGMdb](https://vgmdb.net) if the release is related to a game or an anime.

4. Search for the image on Google. If few results come up drag an image from the results back into search as it will often come up with new results.

## Making images bigger

In case an image of sufficient size cannot be found try upscaling the best available image with [waifu2x](https://github.com/nihui/waifu2x-ncnn-vulkan). For best results enable TTA and use the `upconv_7_anime` model for anime and the `upconv_7_photo` model for photos.

!!! tip
	waifu2x can also remove blur.

## Making images square

If a proper square image cannot be found try making it square with an image editor.

Ways to approach in Photoshop:

* Crop outside the image bounds with content-aware mode.
* Resize the canvas bigger, select a region and fill with content-aware mode.
* Resize the canvas smaller.
